Got a Quote From a Developer? Get a Second Opinion First.
Software and Shopify quotes are hard to compare — one is €2,000, the next is €15,000, and the scope reads completely differently. Send us the quote and we will tell you, in plain English, what is solid, what is missing, and what to ask before you sign.
Free and confidential. We are not trying to win the work — sometimes the right call is to go ahead with the quote you already have.
The Things Quotes Quietly Leave Out
Most quote regret comes from what was not written down. These are the gaps we check for.
Is the scope clear?
What is actually being delivered, and what is deliberately excluded? Vague scope is where budgets quietly double.
Fixed price or open-ended?
"We'll bill hourly and see how it goes" is a different risk to a fixed price for a defined scope. We flag which one you are signing.
Who owns the code?
If the developer keeps ownership or hosts it on their own account, you can be locked in. You should own what you pay for.
Risky assumptions
Data migration, integrations, content, and "you'll provide X" lines that turn into change requests and extra invoices later.
Right tool for the job?
Sometimes a custom build is quoted for something an existing app, a setting, or an automation would solve far cheaper.
Support & handover
What happens after launch? Who fixes bugs, who has the logins, and what does ongoing support actually cost?
A Clear Read, Not a Counter-Pitch
What's solid
The parts of the quote that are clear, fair, and sensibly scoped — so you know what you can trust.
What's missing
The gaps and unstated assumptions most likely to become extra cost or delay.
Questions to ask
A short list of specific questions to put back to the developer before you commit.
Our honest take
Whether the price and approach are reasonable — including "this looks good, go ahead" when that is the truth.
Send the Quote You Want Checked
Paste the scope or quote text, or describe what was proposed and the price. Add what the project is meant to achieve. We will reply with a plain-English read and the questions worth asking.
Quote Check FAQ
Is the quote check free and confidential?
Yes — free, no obligation, and confidential. We will not share your quote or contact the other developer.
Will you just undercut the other quote to win the work?
No. If the quote is fair and well-scoped, we will tell you to go ahead. The point is to help you decide, not to poach the project.
What should I send?
The quote or scope text (paste or describe it), plus a sentence on what the project is meant to achieve. Please do not include passwords or card details.
What will you tell me?
What is solid, what is missing, the risky assumptions, and a short list of specific questions to put back to the developer before you sign.
Can you tell if I even need a custom build?
Often, yes. Sometimes an app, a setting, or an automation does the job for a fraction of a custom quote — and if so, we will say so.
